Community activist Robert Davis, a former Highland Park school board member, who  was accused of stealing more than $125,000 from the cash-strapped school district, pleaded guilty Tuesday to two federal charges, the Detroit News reports.

He could get 18 to 24 months under the recommended sentencing guidelines,  Robert Snell of the News reports.

Specifically, he pleaded guilty to converting money from the school district for his own use and filing a false tax return, court records indicate. 

In a court filing, Davis is asking that he be allowed to continue working as a union staff representative.

“I’m glad to put it behind me,” Davis said Tuesday, according to the News.
